Text Chapter 199 There is Wang Donglai, who is either friend or foe
After entering Guanzhong, the road leading to Chang'an City is very wide, which is not just the west avenue of the city, but every direction extends in all directions, and the road is convenient.
Most of these are actually due to the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for a hundred years were in turmoil, and in the end, the reason why the Qin State was one Kuang Liuhe and unified the world was, of course, relying on the accumulation of several generations of emperors of the Qin State.
Needless to say, the grandeur of the imperial capital Xianyang is not to be said, just look at the roads built within a radius of 100 miles, you can know the greatness of this empire at that time. Wide and flat, six carriages can be galloped side by side, straight into Xianyang, the scale is amazing!
After the fall of Qin, Xianyang City was destroyed by fire, and Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was rebuilt near the old site of Xianyang.
The autumn colors are pleasant, the breeze is gusting, and a team of people is slowly walking on the avenue. Several ornately decorated double-wheeled carriages were guarded by nearly 100 guards, and although the ordinary people on the road did not know who the passengers were inside, just by looking at this grandeur, they knew that they were not idle people, and they hid on the side of the road one after another, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and suffer unwarranted disasters.
Liu Dingguo, the king of Qi, is a fat man, not only fat, but also fat, which is the hereditary symbol of their family, and is derived from the genes of the first generation of Qi king Liu Fei.
The word "wide heart" and fat body means that obese people have a tolerant heart. But, Liu Dingguo is obviously not! Under his arrogant countenance, he is narrow-minded and ruthless.
Once a year, after the autumn, he went to Chang'an, met the emperor, and worshiped the high temple, and he had to come. Except for some who had other plans, in the hearts of about every prince and king, this trip was not willing to come.
How majestic it is in your own fiefdom! You can do whatever you want, no different from the emperor. The prince who is used to looking up at the sky, and then let them bow his head to the one who is younger than him, and he is always reluctant in his heart. Not to mention the suffering of such a long journey.
Although full of reluctance, it is still necessary to come, this is a rule set by the ancestors, and the children of the Liu family must not be violated.
In fact, when he left the country of Qi by the East China Sea and started his journey to the west, the king of Qi was still in a good mood. He is a person who can enjoy, wine and beauty, music and food, these are inseparable for a moment. Therefore, in addition to the elite escort accompanying him, several cars were filled with his personal favorites, ready to talk about the loneliness of the journey.
From the news from the prince who stayed in Chang'an, Liu Dingguo learned that there are many new things in Chang'an City, so he is still full of expectations for the pleasure after arriving.
The so-called annual audience is just a formality and has no substance. The Emperor received him as a regular and offered some words of encouragement. Then go to Changle Palace to pay homage to the ancestors. Then worship the ancestral temple and offer gold. The rest is time to visit friends, have a drink, and have fun.
It's all old-fashioned, and the relationship between Weiyang Palace and the princes is just a coercion and perfunctory, suspicion and calculation, and there is nothing new. The only thing worth looking forward to is to eat, drink and have fun in Chang'an City.
However, his good mood did not last long. Just a third of the way to the journey, inside the carriage, the journey was boring, and King Qi was putting a pair of fat hands into the breasts of the accompanying beauties, playing carefully. The news from Chang'an was quickly delivered to him.
What the? The son of the world had a hand cut off when he was arguing with someone? Who is so bold that he does not know whether he lives or dies! King Qi was furious, his hands were forced, and the thought of crushing the other party to pieces already arose in his heart.
The beauty who was being played with by him had pain in her chest, struggled for a while, and couldn't help but scream. King Qi's cold eyes swept over, and the beauty was so frightened that she hurriedly didn't dare to move again, however, it was already too late. The anger in Liu Dingguo's heart needs to have a carrier to vent.
"Ah......h As soon as the bass of pain sounded, it seemed to stop abruptly, and then it was silent again. A body that was still warm was thrown out of the side of the carriage, falling into the dust, motionless, and the blood gushing from the neck was as delicate as ......a blooming flower.
Liu Dingguo wiped the sharp knife carefully and slowly inserted it into the sheath. With a grim smile on his face, beautiful blood splashed between his eyebrows, like a bloodthirsty madman.
When the ins and outs of the whole thing were heard clearly from Chang'an, Liu Dingguo's anger was mixed with a bit of resentment. It's been a few days since it happened, and the killer who hurt people has not been punished in any way! What does emperor mean? Wouldn't he know? Killing the King of Qi didn't believe it.
What the? The culprit Changle Hou is the favored minister of the two palaces? No matter how favored he is, he is not a courtier! Could it be that Emperor Gaozu's bloodline can tolerate being bullied by his subordinates, and this matter cannot be stopped no matter what. If you cut off one of my hands, you will have to pay it back with your head!
For the rest of the trip, King Qi had no intention of enjoying himself. Although he had nine sons, his son Liu Xuan was born to the concubine Guo. This princess has some backgrounds and a fierce temperament, and Liu Dingguo is very afraid of guilt. If this matter is not handled well, needless to say that it will be a trouble to inherit the throne in the future, but the princess will make trouble, and he will not have a good life.
Qi is one of the largest princes among the vassal states, with a vast territory and profound heritage. The entourage this time is all selected elite. Liu Dingguo called several leaders to the car, with a gloomy face, and instructed, they each received their orders, and before they came to Chang'an, they were ready for revenge.
The reason why they came from the east and went around to the west of Chang'an City to enter the city was because they went to Changle Plateau in advance. In the plan of the King of Qi, before entering Chang'an to meet him, he first ordered someone to go to the fief of Changle Hou and slaughtered the murderer who hurt Liu Xuan and Yuan Zhao together.
This is a personal vendetta, as long as they are killed, the wood is already in the boat, even if the two palaces are to blame at that time, so what can it be? The princes and kings of the world are all in Chang'an, Liu Dingguo doesn't believe that between the children of the royal family and the little Marquis of Changle, the emperor and the Empress Dowager Dou dare to openly favor a foreign minister?
I have to say that although this King of Qi is indulged in pleasure, he is decisive and ruthless, but he has the style of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.
However, the intentions were good, and the results turned out to be somewhat unexpected. On Changle Plateau, they can't get in at all. At the pass intersection into Changle Plateau, there are some well-equipped and disciplined sergeants guarding the guards.
From their unique outfits, King Qi knew that this must be the newly risen Black Eagle Army. All right! It is another big crime to dare to enlist the imperial court with heavy troops.
King Qi had the intention to order someone to force his way through, but after looking at the strong crossbow in the hands of the Black Eagle Sergeant, he finally dispelled this idea. After thinking about it, it will be a long time to come, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you will meet the kings, and then play together, and it will not be too late to eradicate this kid. By the way, try what the attitude of the Son of Heaven is towards the princes, it is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
The group turned back to Chang'an, the road was long, slowly coming, the autumn wind struck, King Qi sat in the car, suddenly smelled a burst of wine, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
When I opened the curtain of the carriage and looked up, I saw a piece of green bamboo, verdant green trees, and a corner of the mahogany floor was reflected in it. A curtain of cloth banners is spread in the wind, and the three large official script fonts of "Qing suburbs" are very full and majestic.
It's a good restaurant, the aroma of wine is so strong, it should taste good. King Qi was originally a good drinker, and since it was still early, there was no need to rush into Chang'an. Immediately, an order was given, and the team was ordered to stop, enter the restaurant and drink a few glasses, and relieve the fatigue first.
The accompanying guards did not dare to slack off, although this place was not far from Chang'an, the safety of the prince could not be ignored. At that moment, nearly 100 guards, who got off the horse, first checked the situation around them, allocated manpower, and did a good job of vigilance.
Then the leader of the guards named Wei Wushuang walked to the carriage of the King of Qi, bowed down to report, everything was arranged, and asked the prince to get off the carriage and rest.
The gorgeous car door opened, and the two Jian slaves who served him hurriedly knelt on the ground, stepping on the back of the flesh to welcome King Qi to get out of the car. Two charming beauties, one on the left and one on the right, supported Liu Dingguo's fat body and walked down step by step.
King Qi looked around the surrounding environment, the shadow of Zhongnan Mountain was already faintly visible in the south, and the east avenue led directly to Chang'an. But it's a good place, I don't know who opened a restaurant here.
Several guards with swords opened the way in front of their heads, and their henchmen came from the restaurant dozens of feet away from the Qi Dynasty. At this moment, at the simple and elegant door of the building, more than a dozen people walked out of it, greeting each other, as if they were about to say goodbye and leave.
Someone next to King Qi suddenly let out a low "ah", but it was a guard who stayed behind in the Chang'an Palace, with a look of surprise on his face. King Qi glanced at him coldly, and the guard hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Liu Dingguo's ear.
King Qi's face immediately changed, he stopped, his fat body trembled, and the two beauties hurriedly let go of him and took a few steps back. At this moment, he is no longer a fat man with a decadent spirit, but a prince of the feudal territory who holds the power of life and death!
"Life is like an ant" may just be an adjective, describing the frivolity of human life, and there is no specific expressiveness in the text. However, in the eyes of some people, the lives of people in the world are so small and humble that they are not worth mentioning!
King Qi carefully stared at the person guarding his fingers, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With a gesture with his hand, Wei Wu held the handle of the knife with both hands and bowed down to receive the order. When he heard King Qi's order clearly, although he was surprised and surprised in his heart, he did not move, stood up, and whispered to his subordinates to prepare!
According to the Han rule, the guards of the princes and kings could be equipped with a standard number of bows and arrows, which was also considered to protect the safety of the descendants of the Liu family.
The Qi King Guards are equipped with thirty hard bows as standard! Wei Wushuang gave an order, and these thirty fierce guards lined up with bows and arrows aimed at the target in front of the restaurant, without even saying a word of greeting, the arrows were clustered with cold stars, chasing souls and killing ......!
